Summary
Dynamic Physician Assistant with a strong background in inpatient cardiology. I enjoy collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and managing complex comorbidities but I'm also very passionate about preventive care as I believe this can significantly impact progression to the complex end stage disease precesses we often see inpatient. I enjoy taking the time to answer patient's questions and review their health comprehensively. I am looking for a remote supplemental position to augment my current position.
